This course explores the newsletter genre through analysis and production. Students read, respond to, and analyze a range of newsletter samples before engaging in the process of collaboratively designing, writing, and editing a newsletter that is disseminated digitally to its intended audience.

This course takes a hands-on approach to writing in a journalistic style for a program magazine called Nomadic Noles. As part of this process, students learn how to interview people for their articles; how to write a journalistic feature story; how to write an accompanying sidebar article; and how to use visuals to help tell the story. When the articles and photos are compiled, designed, and edited, students have a professional-caliber publication to show to a potential employer or graduate school admissions committee.
